Israel under attack

[Bod ...]

History isn't a science, as such there are no absolute truths.
Every one can have their own version.

I asked a bunch of Palestinian demonstraters why they where not protesting against Hamas attack on October 7.

One young girl then goes off about the history the past 3 millions years.

"I can't say your wrong "
I said
"Was you there?"

I find it very hard to sling around facts based on loose history writen by many an historian who would now be called fiction writers.

Apparently, Rachel Riley might be in a spot of bother. She has been accused of jumping the gun, by initially blaming the Sydney attack on an Islamist, but is now claiming that her tweet was "misunderstood". This is the tweet in question. Judge for yourselves:

Its subliminal paranoia.
Subconscious anxiety about Muslims.
I remember years ago in London, i was watching the news with a Scottish mate, a breaking story was about a plumber finding body parts in a drain in Muswell hill i think.
My mate shouted "its the IRA, its the IRA", how he came to the conclusion that the IRA were behind body parts in a drain, i don't know.
Turned out the body parts were from the victims of Denis Neilson.

People should have the inalienable right to live in the stone age, bronze age, etc. Only people in dictatorships can't do that.

That explains why the British keep voting Conservative

If there isn't an exact science, how can there possibly be and exact History.

It's all opinions & bias based on stories.

Our view of history changes constantly, as new knowledge appears about what about happened. Added into the mix, is also the personal biases of the one doing the explaining of what happened, and the one recording. Even if you are/were there, your view of what is taking place is a fairly limited one.

I wonder what happened to the Ottoman Lira? Pretty obvious really.

Doesn't matter who they vote, the country is in decline. Hyperinflation will wipe out all in the end.

Sadly not for Brexit supporters who think we still have a British Empire

You are contradicting yourself

The U.K. is in decline because the public have voted 40 years for privatisation and now our country is foreign owned.

So yes it does matter how we vote
And it still matters

Ok, go have a vote. I won't vote the opposite, or vote at all because I don't have time for this sh*t. I am amazed nothing clicked inside brain after 40 years of doing the same thing and getting the same result.
